Description:

MARC Train is closely monitoring the approaching winter weather and will operate full service on Tuesday, January 29. In light of the Federal Government decision to close two hours early, the following service modifications will take place:

Camden and Penn Lines - Equipment assignments will be modified to provide additional capacity starting with the 12:20pm Penn Line and 3:30pm Camden Line departures from Union Station.

Brunswick Line - Additional capacity will be added to earlier trains. Train 873 (3:30pm departure from Union Station) will operate through to West Virginia stations and Train 875 (4:25pm departure) will terminate in Brunswick. Weather permitting, EPTA connecting bus service will be provided for Train 875. If road conditions are unsafe, the bus will not operate and passengers will have to wait for Train 879.

While we are adding additional capacity to all earlier trains, we cannot replicate rush hour capacity on midday trains (Penn Line) and early afternoon Camden and Brunswick Line trains. Boarding will be stopped when trains reach a safe capacity. We ask that you follow the direction of MTA, Amtrak, and Bombardier management at Union Station. They will be counting passengers as trains are boarded to ensure that trains are not overcrowded.

We thank you for your patience as we work to get you home as quickly and safely as possible.
